PRE-INTERNSHIP EXAMS Under the national internship management framework, the Government proposes to introduce pre-internship examinations, where all undergraduate students will be re-examined before they are placed for internship. The proposal on preinternship exams is premised on the fact that several universities are admitting under-performing students for core health programmes. The framework will also standardise selection, deployment and supervision of interns and provide for a specific plan to improve medical intern welfare. what others say These minimum standards, Dr Safina Kisu Musene, the commissioner for health education and training, added, will enable the country to have uniform minimum requirements for admission of students for each of the health programmes. Musene said the sector will work with the NCHE to review the minimum requirements for university programmes and the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Council for the diploma and certificate courses. "The policy will help the country address issues such as the quality of graduates as well as the number of students that should be trained," she said. Musene noted that health professionals will now be trained based on actual workforce needs, ensuring that Uganda produces the right number of workers with the right skills. Musene added that the Government will have a transitional period within which all training institutions will be required to align with the new requirements. The director general of health services, Dr Charles Olaro, said the country must enforce standards during the training of health workers. Maintaining high standards during the selection and admission of students, Olaro said, is the other major aim of the new reforms.

@jenta019 @BillAdrati @lanobecker @MbararaUST @PbyakikaPauline @nche_uganda @JTusiimire There are many international Universities offering Pharm Sciences for 3 years, not only MUST. A program that's duly accredited by NCHE. The QP approach doesn't focus on the year of degree but competency and experience. Those who are competent shouldn't be afraid and ring-fence.

Happy Easter from AMUPSS🌸🐣 May this Easter inspire you to continue striving for excellence, embracing growth, and spreading kindness in all that you do. Just as the season brings new life, may it also renew your strength, ignite your ambitions, and fill your heart with peace ✨
